On September 17, 1787, the Constitution was approved by the Constitutional Convention and submitted to the people of the States for their deliberation and decision (through specially elected ratifying conventions). That other, earlier document of our country's founding - the Declaration of Independence - has long had its own day on July 4th (even though Congress did not declare Independence Day a paid federal holiday until 1938).
